<p>Hi! My name is Donna and I am a teacher librarian in Michigan. I have taught all levels K-12. I have mainly worked in an urban district that is struggling with achievement and drop-out rates. The teachers in my district do the best we can but struggle with a variety of issues including the one most closely linked with academic achievement - low socioeconomic status (SES).

<p>Hi! My name is Donna and I am a teacher librarian in Michigan. I have taught all levels K-12. I have mainly worked in an urban district that is struggling with achievement and drop-out rates. The teachers in my district do the best we can but struggle with a variety of issues including the one most closely linked with academic achievement - low socioeconomic status (SES). IMHO, the biggest problem is the lack of valuing an education from parents on down. If the parents have not graduated or don't value education, then neither will their children for the most part. If we can get the parents on board and educate them then we have a good chance with the children. Enough said. </p>
<p>I am excited to be part of Classroom 2.0 and this group. I look forward to hearing from others in a wide diversity of areas and with a wide variety of duties. </p> I'm Megan, and I'm a teacher…tag:www.classroom20.com,2009-11-05:649749:Comment:4014322009-11-05T19:14:40.633ZMegan Siemenshttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/MeganSiemens
I'm Megan, and I'm a teacher librarian at a small 7-12 school in Indiana. I've only just moved into the librarian position, so I'm looking for new ways to integrate Web 2.0 tools throughout the curriculum and I'm working on changing my school's perception of the library.

I'm Denise Fischer, elementary librarian as two schools in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. The schools host 4-year-old kindergarten through fourth grade. I'm starting a fourth grade wiki project with another school within our district. We're using wikispaces as the forum, as it allows us to create our own user names without the use of an email account. I"m excited to get it started! What's everyone else doing?

Greetings,<br />
I am a Library Media Specialist in Kingston, New York (Hudson Valley). I am just starting to realize that I am hopelessly out of touch with what is going on in technology--even though I am only six years out of grad school. Then again, I have teachers in my building who can't even e-mail. I've just joined classroom 2.0 - at the suggestion of one of our new, tech savvy teachers. I am hoping to learn how to get started -without getting overhwelmed! I also don't want to spend hours each…

Hello. I'm a Library Media Specialist in rual central Missouri. I have about 107 students K-8. Most of the teachers have been at this school for years and are scared of technology. Most have smart boards but don't use them. After attending a conference where Web 2.0 was spoken about a lot I thought that if we could get one teacher to take the technology ball and run with it, it would inspire the others. Since I am very separate from the teacher this appears to be the best way. So this Tuesday…
Hello. I'm a Library Media Specialist in rual central Missouri. I have about 107 students K-8. Most of the teachers have been at this school for years and are scared of technology.

Since I am very separate from the teacher this appears to be the best way. So this Tuesday (11/13) She is talkin to all the teachers on their plan time about lessons for the smartboard. I can hardly wait to hear what happens. Keep you informed. Hello in here!

Hello in here!<br />
<br />
I am Leslie Witten, a teacher-librarian for a k-8 catholic school in Los Angeles, California. I am so happy to find this group! This group embodies my professional existence: directing a school library while trying to promote 21st century learning tools and skills to teachers.<br />
<br />
My first question: who is using web 2.0 in their library and what strategies are working for you?

I know the feeling. Sometimes I feel like I am trying to steer a sinking ship. But change is hard, right? For some teachers, at least. For others, they see a good idea or new tool and dive right in to it. I am trying to focus on the few who DO want to take a risk. Maybe the example these pioneers show will speak louder than the nay-sayers. Don't give up, Edi! Do what you do because you know it is the right thing to do!
